AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These are Canadian banknotes from the Queen Elizabeth II series issued in 1954 (known as the 1954 Landscape Issue, or simply “Landscape Edition” banknotes). They were issued by the Bank of Canada and are highly recognized classic Canadian dollar banknotes.
I. List of 8 banknotes in the image (from top to bottom, from left to right)
Left column:
1. 10 Canadian dollars (purple color)
2. 5 Canadian dollars (blue color)
3. 2 Canadian dollars (orange-red color)
4. 2 Canadian dollars (orange-red color)

II. Brief information about the version history
1. Difference between the original “Devil’s Face” design and the revised version
In the initial 1954 edition, the curled hair effect on the queen’s face resembled a demon’s profile, which was criticized by the public. Later, the Bank of Canada made changes to the design, adjusting the shading.
Green 1 CAD banknote: Early landscape version (with the Niagara Falls pattern on the back)
Yellow 1 CAD banknote: Revised version; the back now shows the Canadian national emblem, with the landscape design removed.
The two 1 CAD banknotes shown in the image correspond to the two different versions before and after the revision.
